Shelburne Falls
home of the Bridge of Flowers and glacial potholes
Shelburne Falls is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Mohawk Trail because it gives the drive its texture: home of the Bridge of Flowers and glacial potholes. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Mohawk Trail runs Williamstown → Greenfield, MA. New England’s oldest scenic auto road.
Nearby route stops
- Whitcomb Summit — the trail’s high point, with long Berkshire views (Mohawk Trail)
- Mohawk Trail State Forest — old-growth pines along the Deerfield River gorge (Mohawk Trail)
